> Any thoughts about [GPS accuracy]?

Unless I'm missing something, couldn't you just fetch the GPS location and truncate the precision to 1/2/3 decimal points? There are subtler ways of doing this that mitigate

A: Oscillation of a user on the border between X,Y and X,Y+1

B: Distortion of precision area near the poles

but I'm sure you get the gist.
